Story

Welcome to Holly's page,

In March 2011, Holly was diagnosed with cancer. Holly was just 3 years old. Unknown to her parents John (a serving police officer at Barnet) and Katrina, doctors didn't believe she would survive longer than just a couple of months. 

Doctors worked effortlessly to treat Holly but it was the assistance of Clic Sargent that helped John and Katrina get the money entitled to them to be with Holly throughout her treatment meaning they could be with her every step of the way at what must have been the scariest experience a young girl could go through. 

When Holly needed treatment at Adenbrooks Hospital, Clic Sargent helped with a grant to get the family there in comfort to reduce the stress. 

When Holly began to beat her cancer and start her recovery they paid for the family to gey respite care at Sargent House in Scotland, a beach side home specifically designed to help with kid's recovery, fully furnished with everything the family need, right down to three hearty meals a day.

Clic Sargent was able to supply assistance and services which helped make dark times a little more comfortable and do everything they could to aid in Holly's recovery. Cancer is a scary and frightening experience for anybody but especially a young girl and her family who are just starting their lives together. The work done by Clic Sargent means families can have a bit of time together as a family, doing things families should be doing. 

Please dig deep and donate what you can to this fantastic cause.

Thank you
